Geraldine Servant
Particle physics and cosmology
Geraldine Servant is a member of the DESY theory group and is appointed with the University of Hamburg. Her major direction of research is on the particle-cosmology interplay, in particular on the dark matter and the origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe. She has worked on models of new physics at the TeV scale and their collider phenomenology, with special emphasis for cosmological consequences like the nature of the electroweak phase transition in the early universe and dark matter model building. The upcoming era is expected to see new advances in this field, with an avalanche of new data coming not only from the LHC but also from dark matter direct searches at underground laboratories, indirect searches at cosmic ray telescopes, from low-energy frontier experiments searching for axion-like-particles, from cosmological surveys, large scale structures simulations, and, in the longer term, from gravity wave astronomy.
